    So sad that protect tiles does not effect self-damage (world rupture etc.). Is this a bug or again a pre-mature fact from the devs again? I thought this time bullseye will finally protects team. omg my healthpacks... icon_cry.gif

    & Sentry is a superhero instead of villain why he was buffed? is it?

    He's sorta both. He's a huge part of the Dark Avengers but he was also an Avenger before that.

    Self-damage has always been unaffected by strike or protect tiles, so it's working as intended.

    but I still consider it should protects for self-damage in my (twisted?) logic sense...

    poor hood (tortured supervillain in mpq)... Sentry = tortured superhero (stated in wiki)

    I have found ares/ tinydaken/ bullseye to be a good team at the ** level. It's probably just rng but I haven't seen defensive wins like this since the days of running m.storm/ obw. Offensively I am able to do 4-6 matches at times depending on how well I denied powers.

    444 dmg per green ap, 4k+ on sunder, strike tiles out the wazoo, and protect tile that mitigate most match damage... Unless there is a mirror daken, but that itself isn't a deterrent. This is the first event where if I see an obw I don't feel the need to bring my own. I leveled bullseye over moonstone as the better black skill user over moonie many months back to complete a rainbow group, and for all the complaint about how bad he sucks, I never really regretted it. I'm glad I was able to save a place for all the *** without ever having to nuke him. Any other groups I have tried come out crippled or dead, so it's nice to have a combo that works decent for a change.

    I won't finish well as I can't play the end of the match, and I hope to get the same 1 psyduck cover either way, but events like this are great fun.

    Yeah, saw nothing else above 800.

    My Hood died so I had to switch to CMags instead, which was surprisingly effective. Slow as hell, but effective.

    Done for this tourney and shielded (don't even know why lol) so hit me if you got me.

    In this event I found that CMag is interchangeable with Sentry and they're roughly equally fast in a no boost environment if not counting animation time. Of course, Magneto's animations take forever, so that's not saying much, but for defensive purposes Magnetized Particle is going to slow down your opponent just fine compared to World Rupture, and it can be just as deadly with Daken + Hood. The drawback is that you also have to sit through the same endless animations on offense.

    Did the end time for this become an hour later? I could swear I was shielded over the end, and now I"m not.

    Anyone else get the continued glitch from Moonstone's Gravity Warp? Strike/attack/protect/countdown tiles present, but it still collapses on a random tile.

    Are you sure it's a glitch? Lower ranks will not swap all tiles but does lower damage.

    If it's a team up Gravity Warp it is probably a lower level version that cannot warp every kind of color.

    I'm shielded for the duration (or at least until the last 5 minutes), so fire away if you see me.

    Shielded in this miserable slog to the end. I came out of my last match before shielding having been attacked five times, during one match, keeping my from crossing 800. The last of those, 37 points, came in right after I shielded. This is why I hate PVP. If I had known this game was 100% PVP when I started I never would have started.

    But that begs the question as to why you continued after you figured that out.

    Climbed to 1100 because I needed one more Torch red. Points were reallllly hard to come by at the top. I had two random 40 pointers earlier in the day, but that to slog 18's at the end to get my cover. Spent a ton of iso finding nothing over 20 points the last two pushes.

    I had you queued for a while but you weren't high enough yet so you got skipped. Glad you got to 1100.

    I'm shielded out at 1024 which currently is a nice lead on an alliance mate for 2nd. But as long as that holds top 5 I'm good. Spent 240 HP during this one, so not a great HP profit, but the ISO should be nice-o.

    I'll take a 14th with no shield - I don't need Psyduck covers anyway, not with the way she's been handed out lately.

    pretty awesome 2 days - made 950HP from going unshielded in combined arms and nefarious foes and from placement in pve subs.
